Dusk Till Dawn 2011

Girlfriend and I are gunning for this as our final big race in 2011, since we haven't raced a 12 hour solo all year long. Can anyone give us very much appreciated advice and information on what the riding's like, the things we need to be prepared for, what the trail is like...just about anything you might think two girls who have only ridden in Malaysia and Singapore would need to know?

Oh yeah and according to some of the guys we ride with, there are...snakes? That can kill us? What do we do??

Hey

You're in luck dear...we're on the organizing team & I can tell ya it's gonna be fun! My dear is organizing the track so i'll be able to tell you a bit later on how long it'll be. It's normally around 10-12km.

First...we don't have much in the way of traction with the pea gravel in western australia. If you can come down a few months before for a weekend, we can show you what we ride on..

Second, you won't encounter snakes at the 12hr..just kangaroos, scorpions, rabbits and some birds. The snakes will be frightened off by all the people.

I'd offer you a spare room but our friends are getting married the day before the 12hr & one of thier kiwi family members is staying with us..

Hey! Oh AWESOME. I've heard about the infamous pea gravel, will try my best to get down for a ride but not holding my breath considering the school term and all. We're thinking of getting a hotel as close to the park as we can, from previous 12 hour experience. Erm, do scorpions jump up and sting or anything? I've never really appreciated how wonderfully wildlife-free Singapore trails are until now... :s
